Region Västerbotten works to ensure that good health and sustainable development strengthen each other. We take responsibility for equitable welfare and for research and innovation to yield results.

The Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Clinic is a regional clinic with outpatient units in Umeå, Lycksele, and Skellefteå. The clinic also includes a BUP care department located in Umeå. BUP Västerbotten is a USVE unit with close collaboration with universities and research.

In Umeå, extended outpatient services and inpatient care can also be offered. Treatment follows international and national guidelines for the investigation and treatment of children and adolescents with eating disorders, as well as local care programs.

We have clear goals that we achieve by inspiring each other to creative improvement work. At the same time, we emphasize creating a health-promoting work environment in our units.

The Child and Adolescent Psychiatry in Skellefteå is a workplace where you will meet an engaged team, a warm and inclusive culture, and good opportunities to influence and develop.
